did you lube the seal and i mean drench the new seal with compressor oil and obviously put the disk that goes into the housing the correct way round,you must be a competent guy to do this job or you would not have attempted it.

ya got it going like you said i left the seals in compressor oil and cleaned everything very thoroughly . even wore plastic gloves to put back together after that no leak. lessened learned about cleaning and keeping parts lubricated .
